[@PlaneOldBen]

+Mark Aldridge thank you, Mark!

[@RicciHodgson59]

These are fantastic videos! Really enjoyable and educational. Thanks Ben!

[@allittle3531]

Hi Ben, Thanks for another really inspiring video! Gear question: what kneeboard are you using?

[@TheFlyingReporter]

I love Gloucestershire and Sandown. Two great aerodromes. beaulieu is pronounced ' b'you Lee' BTW. Nice flying, and some great ATC service from Solent and Gloucester.

[@PlaneOldBen]

+The Flying Reporter thank you for your continued reports!

[@terencecottington4273]

Great flying Ben. Well done matey, another great video. :)

[@zanetrotter]

great video Ben greetings from Australia mate keep these coming mate

[@dereksanders7905]

Great video, as usual Ben. The 'old RAF airfield' you mentioned is Ashley Walk in the New Forest. It was used as a bombing range during WW2 and it was here there that the first test of the Barnes Wallis designed 22,000lb Grand Slam bomb was carried out.

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Derek Sanders that's really interesting thank you for the info!

[@THEDUCK201]

Alternatively it is Beaulieu (Right of track) - Pronoucned "B-you-lee", hard to tell which side you are talking

[@PlaneOldBen]

+THEDUCK201 thanks!

[@MrSameeg]

Another nice video With a little bit of instuction thrown in!!.

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Mike Greenaway thank you!

[@dafydd47dr]

Just landed in Blackpool it my flying school from St Athan. Beautiful airport!

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Dafydd Rees awesome!

[@therhys927]

Great flight Ben. You should pop down to Cardiff some time! Great food up in the Cambrian

[@PlaneOldBen]

+RMAviation I've not really thought about visiting Cardiff before, I'll look into it!

[@KevDYAD]

Great video again Ben. I have just bought a Cherokee PA28 so very helpful, I should say I bought the PA28 software for flight sim :-)

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Kev thanks Kev - hope you enjoy your new aircraft! ;)

[@stevensteve3671]

Hi Ben - excellent video and great radio skills. Hopefully one day I will be half as good as you :)

[@darrenw2]

Brilliant video - subscribed! I fly the PA28 but only in a virtual sense (A2A) but this is a great video to learn from. Would love to get PPL one day :-)

[@craig1231]

Was that a Seneca buried in the grass there? @3:13

[@stewarttorrance7945]

Your videos are great. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Stewart Torrance thank you, Stewart!

[@earlgrey5142]

Hi Ben. Another great video. I have watched them all now and they were a great help when I was refreshing my licence recently. Question. Looks like you use an iPad mini for Skydemon. I have just acquired one and wondering what case/kneeboard to get for it. What do you use? I like the way you seem able to flick between paper info and the iPad. Would you recommend it? Nick

[@CAXAviation]

Very nice video as usual!

[@PlaneOldBen]

+CharlieClass156 cheers Charlie!

[@barnabyg6808]

Hi Ben, do you prefer Cessna, piper or cirrus?

[@maxwoski6369]

Hello Ben . Firstly, i'd like to say that you produce some great content and videos , which are really helpful whilst training for my PPL. Secondly i'd like to ask what app that is on your ipad.( i know this is a frequently asked question)

[@PlaneOldBen]

+wax roberts I use Skydemon!

[@willbur4743]

You're my hero

[@JodelFlyer]

Enjoyed the video Ben. How many cameras are you using now and are you still recording sound via a separate sound recorder?

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Jodel Flyer I'm using four GoPros now and still a separate sound recorder. All the equipment is in the description!

[@markypplflyingadventure.8209]

Hiya, what lead do you use with the Go pro camera for picking the Comms up and the ATC chatter. Just started using my camera for my flying and would like to have the Comms in the footage ??

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Mark Aldridge I made a video about that if you have a search, hope it helps!

[@shanemorris4612]

Hi Ben, What software do you use for editing your videos? Thanks!

[@andydonaldson5593]

Nice video. About time ;)

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Andy Donaldson I know! I've been down in Bristol taking my next set of ATPLs and had to put editing on hold - I'm back to normal now though aha!

[@andydonaldson5593]

Plane Old Ben oh great stuff. Fancy the airlines then I'm guessing?

[@kickee128]

My first flying lesson tomorrow in one of these, not sure what to expect but I hope it will be worth it!

[@camprout2285]

Kickee12 good luck! I train in a Piper PA-38 and it is the best experience ever! You will love it!!! Enjoy

[@kickee128]

FlightSimDude Thanks very much! Good luck with your training :)

[@EinkOLED]

There's a difference between a trial flight and a flying lesson. Your first flight (which hopefully will include you taking control) will determine whether you would want to become a pilot, whether that be GA or Commercial. It's whether you get that flying BUG.

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Kickee12 good luck!!

[@kickee128]

Plane Old Ben Cheers Ben! :)

[@casiodan]

Was there a plane, nose down in the grass to your left on departure?

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Danny Whittingham I think so!

[@craig1231]

Made me chuckle at your pronunciation of Beaulieu @10:59... It's pronounced 'Bewli' ;)

[@PlaneOldBen]

+Craig1231 aha you're like the fourth person to comment telling me how to say it! I'm a northerner, you guys down south spell things weird!

[@michaelmiklosofficial]

I passed my PPL skills test in a Cessna 150 and on the same day, someone took me flying in a PA28 to Gloucester Airport

[@lugash4]

nice!!

[@PlaneOldBen]

+richard c thank you!

[@ChrizRockster]

Nice shot of GCHQ on base! I got the bug for flying at this very airfield as a kid!

[@PlaneOldBen]

+ChrisWhite85 great airfield!

[@MattDvc]

Would you be able to review SkyDemon? Cant find any good ones on youtube. Thanks

[@rogerblackwood8815]

In my experience Sky Demon is simply the best there is, all the pilots at our field use it. It really does do everything you could want in a VFR programme and much more, it even files the GAR for you!

[@jimadie6518]

Undercarriage is attached !
